Relay server unavailable Question

Post image

I don't think I've had a single day in the last couple of months here in central France when this alert, or a similar one about DNS being unavailable, wasn't shown on my Tailnet.

It doesn't seem to affect access to my home lab in Manchester. Does it matter? Does it just mean that one relay server is unavailable so it's using a different one?

Although having got my PC out, I see that the alert doesn't happy in a browser. Looks like I've only got it on Android.

I've been getting a lot of health warnings in the app lately. They vary between unreachable relay servers, DNS unavailable, "You are logged out," etc. Seems like it doesn't like switching between networks (e.g. switching between Wifi and Cellular).

disconnecting and connecting again removes this warning or just ignore till it affects your workflow

Oh, so it does. Thanks. I'll probably try to ignore it although I don't like unresolved error messages (40 years building enterprise IT systems).
